Really Quite Nice. My "go to" place when in Toowoomba for lunch. It's easy enough to find located opposite Queens Park along the main drive into Toowoomba CBD. There is on street parking which is easy enough to find a spot. The Park House has many rooms for in door and a large out door area as well as footpath dining. It is walk up and be seated - your choice of space and table. The service has been exceptional - always polite and positive. Once seated the menus are provided- the range of food choices is more extensive than than you would think, with a some vegan and gluten free options. My daughter went for the squid salad, BLT for my other half both good quality and good country serves. Left room for desert - GF chocolate cake ticked all the boxes Prices are reasonable. The best of rural and urban. read more

Stopped here for brekkie and had a fantastic Eggs Benny with the only sourdough toast I've ever had that I haven't needed a chainsaw to saw through. Only reason for 4 stars not 5 was the price of adding bacon to the eggs benny. Very good coffee. All staff were lovely and made sure we had all we needed. Fast to take orders. read more

A lovely cafe with a dog friendly outdoor area or cosy interior with the heaters running for a cold Toowoomba morning. We had the Park House Breakfast and everything was delicious. Perfect soft poached eggs are the big test for any cafe in my books, and they were perfectly oozy - bliss! read more

This used to be my friends and I go to cafe for coffee. In fact I met my oldest and dearest friend for coffee for the first time at this cafe. It has some sentimental value. That was some 11 years ago and still on a weekend morning you can find this cafe buzzing with families, couples and locals sipping coffee (Bellaroma, which seems to be a new and welcome addition. But it's longevity in Toowoomba stands to say that they must be doing something fairly well. Sure, Toowoomba's cafe scene isn't as saturated as Brisbane but it's still burgeoning enough for customers to talk by not filling seats. This is yet to happen at Park House. The quality of coffee has improved ten fold since I had breakfast here a few months ago) and taking advantage of the all day breakfast. This morning I had serious order envy when my dining companion ordered a smoked salmon omelette. It made me pity my bacon and eggs. Service has always been without trouble. If anything it was excessive (and possibly not tables not being tracked) this morning with no less than two waitresses asking for our coffee and breakfast orders when they'd already been taken. They've also been more than happy to provide a small container of water for the mornings our dog has been with us. Park House is a decent breakfast option with a gorgeous park view but, the breakfast is fairly standard - lots of eggs, served with white bread and sides are a little steep - $4.50 for avocado for example. And just as Kimberley P. noted, I personally, for the meals, struggle to justify the $45.50 it cost my partner and I to have breakfast (one coffee each, him the smoked salmon omelette and me the bacon and eggs). It's not five-star dining but the prices are up there. Granted these are all personal things to my own taste. I'd suggest making it a coffee stop or lunch venue! read more

I love the atmosphere here. It is always lively, and there is always an open table inside or out, on the patio or on the deck. My bf ordered the park house breakfast. His eggs were ordered poached, but they were actually baisted, but he never noticed. I ordered the smoked salmon breakfast. They brought me the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, but when I mentioned the error, the server checked back, informed me that it will be ready in 2 minutes, and it was. I appreciated her apologizing, checking back with me, and bringing out what I ordered promptly. My only complaints are the price; each of our brekky's were $20. Add coffees and your looking at $50. The other issue is that we were seated by one server, our order was taken by another, we were asked by another if we had already ordered, our food was brought out by another, and cleared by the original server. Too much room for error. Pick a section and see each table through. I was happy with the meal overall. read more

Park House Cafe - Sunday morning cuppa. - Cafes Near Me - Toowoomba, QLD

This where the locals go it seems. Very nice relaxed. Just had the seafood risotto and mmmmmmmm mm it's good! The squid was tender the shrimp was tasty and the fish well little fishy. Whatever the sauce is it's amazingly good and rich. Locals get coffee next door then eat here so that's what I did and happy I did. read more

One of the roomier and warmer cafes in Toowoomba, friendly staff and table service. Coffee - 7/10 Excellent basic coffee with full flavour although if you're after a specialty coffee house you may want to rethink this cafe. Not because it is bad but because this cafe focusses on mich more than coffee. Salmon Eggs Benedict - 7/10 Perfect eggs, excellent choice of sourdough. Let down by a very mild and passive hollandaise sauce with no real dominant ingredient and a milder smoked salmon. Excellent presentation and fast service. Overall a fine little cafe with a large and inviting interior. Outdoor seating is available although on the day of my visit it was raining but I see a great space ready to be used. Will make a return visit or two during my time here in Toowoomba. read more

In Toowoomba for a couple of weeks from Sydney. Found this place, great position, good ambience, shame about the inconsistency with food snd service. "Tasting Plate" sounded tasty, but didn't come close. Arancini balls stodgy and tasteless, we had no idea what was in them except the obvious rice. Prawn coating tasted stale. Chicken portions pale/dry and bland. Haloumi cheese portions paper thin, overcooked snd rubbery. Pork belly was tough, and uninteresting, very small bits. Dips were capsicum and olive tapanade, accompanied by whole olives and capsicum slices. Very boring. Bread was ordinary. Had a bruschetta as well. Half/warmed tomatoes served on bread, with slices of spanish onion , balsamic vinegar drizzled over, most of it on the plate. Very disappointing food. Had a dinner here 2 nights ago that was worth 4 1/2 stars. Have had brunch on 3 occasions as well over the last 10 days. They were 3 star meals. Service is hit and miss during the day. read more

Just up the road from Valetta's this is another good spot for a coffee. It has both nice inside and outside places to sit. Outside is wonderful with views across to the park under umbrellas, shady trees or a verandah- what ever takes your fancy. Coffee is good, not great but good. Or you have have a wine and have a lazy Sunday imbibing read more

I noticed this cafe driving past & wasn't disappointed when we walked in. The vibe in this cafe is very relaxing. The waiter gave us great service as we only shared a late lunch while the kids shared some chips. read more

Normally have breakfast here which is very good , but had dinner there last night. Food was nearly great . We had NZ Salmon and Rib Fillet. . The Salmon was overcooked and from the heat coming out of it I'm presuming it got zapped in the microwave before I got it. The greens served were so tough my knfie couldnt cut them. On the flip side the steak was beautifully tender , but stone cold. The Gluten free entee (garlic bread) was more like a toasted cheese sandwich . It was tasty though. It was very hit and miss. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere was great. read more

As it was our 7th wedding anniversary we chose Park House Cafe to start our day with a breakfast. We found the restaurant very busy we arrived after 0800, very clean, great atmosphere, very pleasant staff and the service was extraordinary, for a Sunday. Our breakfast was very well presented, tasty and hot (we love hot breakfast). Thank you so much for starting our day off so well. We shall return. Colin and Dixie Park from Withcott. read more

We visited recently for breakfast on a Sunday - the place was full, and the wait was quite awhile, which we put down to it being full. We went yesterday, the cafe was busy for nowhere near full. Our order was taken and then after an hour when our meals hadn't arrived, we went looking for them. A waitress came past and said they won't be a moment longer. 15 minutes later our meals arrived. The meals were ordinary given the price, I would have expected more flavour. The pepita crusted chicken, just tasted like breadcrumbs. The lamb burger was tasteless and the lemon pepper calamari was just basically just floured and the pear seemed to be missing from the pear and pistachio accompaniment. Not one staff member came to ask us for anything between ordering and when our meals finally arrived. One staff member did come to clear our plates, I had to ask why our meals were so long - apparently the chef lost the order (different story to what we got when we complained upon paying) - and I said we weren't happy and we hadn't even received an apology for the delay. We were then left to our own devices, though water was offered again, none was brought. We weren't offered coffee or dessert. In the end we waited until our youngest had finished her food. Our dining companion helped finish her's off and said her nacho sauce has more flavour than his Pepita chicken. When paying, we asked the manager why our meals had been so long. Her story was the chef had put our order at the back and we only waited 15 minutes longer than the 45 minute wait that they had that day. Well we weren't even told there was a 45 minute wait when our order was taken, surely that's what you would do when you took the order? She continued to argue that she was right and that we had been apologised to - no we hadn't, we had to ask for an apology from the waitress and we had to ask why our meals had taken so long, it wasn't offered . She said what else do you want I've said I'm sorry- I said a discount, she said no I can't do that. Really? Okay then, you've lost a customer, we won't be back. We drove from Brisbane today to have a nice family lunch. It wasn't. We won't be back. And given other reviews I've read, I'm guessing I'm not the only one that's had to deal with the lack of customer service and snooty attitude. read more
